Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly 100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
What Comes Next [ Mar 18, 2024 ]
The war is over, but This Means War has a ways to go. Novo Paolo/Bubbleopolis is still in a nebula/stellar nursery, no one knows what happened to the planet Sharen (center of the Intergalactic Council), and the status of the now-surrendered Invaders is yet to be resolved. What will they do when they learn their homeworld is basically destroyed? Will Alyss and Li be re-united? How about Diana (the real one) and Otto?
These questions will be resolved in the next few weeks, before This Means War part 3 wraps in late May.
After that, I plan to go BACK in time about 400 years, to when Alyss and Li left their home in the Sol System to colonize a new world on the far side of the galaxy. As one might expect, hijinks ensue. New subtitle yet to be determined, start date sometime in around the start of July. Stay tuned!
Transcript For Strip 1865
Panel 1Cut to a lounge where Diana and Alyss are seated next to each other. As the Porcupine fusses over Diana's right arm, Alyss debriefs Diana as Areum looks on.
Caption: We moved to a more comfortable room and so while Monty fussed over my poor abused arm, I filled Alyss in on all that had happened.
Caption: It might have gone faster except for the way she peppered me with questions.
Panel 2
Alyss is looking a bit deflated. Diana's cast looks different. Areum is in the background.
Caption: Finally:
Diana: … So really, it's thanks to our trip to the Mechanic that I now have contacts in a place that could prove advantageous to us later.
Alyss: You … really have been through a lot. Especially your friend, Juan. I will of course cover his medical expenses in full.
Panel 3
Diana looks appreciative; the Panda is walking up holding a tray with a snack and drinks.
Diana: That's … good to know. He should be transferred to a different hospital, though.
Alyss: Yeah. I've trusted Smith & Holder for literally centuries.
Alyss: But they've been compromised somehow, and until we get to the bottom of this ...
Panel 4
Looking past Areum at far left into medium shot of Diana and Alyss, with the Panda walking up holding a tray with a snack and drinks.
Alyss: Oh! But I shouldn't assume 'we,' should I?
Alyss: I wouldn't blame you for bailing out at this point. Things will get even rougher.
Diana: I'm angry enough with these bastards that I'm not afraid of them anymore.
